The GPT Group has officially unveiled its new headquarters at Two Park in Sydney’s CBD, showcasing an experience-led, future-focused workplace designed by BVN, with delivery partner Hunter Mason. The two-level fit-out reflects GPT’s evolving approach to work — prioritising flexibility, wellbeing, and connection through thoughtful spatial design and rich material expression.
At the heart of the project is an “experience first” philosophy, treating the workplace as an active tool rather than a passive container. From arrival to daily movement through the space, every design decision was tested against how people feel, interact, and focus at work. The journey begins on the upper level, where two large voids cut through the slab to create immediate visual and social connection to the level below. This openness establishes energy, transparency, and a strong sense of community aligned with GPT’s culture.
The workplace is anchored by a hospitality-led social heart, encouraging daily interaction and informal connection. Surrounding this core, a variety of settings support different work modes — from roaming neighbourhoods that foster collaboration and cross-functional exchange to a quiet, library-like retreat for focused, individual work. Together, these spaces acknowledge the full spectrum of how people actually work, supporting productivity, wellbeing, and belonging.
Materiality plays a key role in connecting the two floors while allowing each level to maintain its own identity. According to Sally Campbell, Principal at BVN, the floors were designed as a single continuous volume rather than stacked plates. The upper level is defined by a dark bronze waffle ceiling, while the lower level is grounded by terracotta floor tiles of equal richness and depth. Light, neutral finishes at the slab and ceiling act as a visual bridge, stitching the two levels together into one cohesive environment.
A continuous waffle ceiling element flows across desk areas and social zones alike, breaking from traditional office conventions and helping resolve the building’s large central core. Timber flooring, layered textures, residential-style partitions, and a curated lighting strategy blur the boundaries between formal and informal spaces, creating a workplace that feels intuitive, human, and welcoming.
The Two Park headquarters demonstrates how material richness, sustainability, and agile planning can come together to support modern working patterns — positioning the office not just as a place to work, but as a daily experience that actively enhances team wellbeing and performance.
